Cci minimag vs cci std , worth the extra cost ?
What do you think folks ?

Depends what you are using them in, personally I like and prefer the Minimags however they are not cheap.

The club charges £6.40 for 100 minimags and £5.40 for std, I'm using them in a bolt action

at a penny extra a shot, if they work then go for it! I suspect the price will be rising soon

mini mags all the way; £6.40 for 100 is pretty good, they are £7.00 for 100 at my club.

Eley Match or Lapua were the best .22LR ammo I've used to date in the clubs CZ bolt action - expensive though!

Bought some Thunderbolt they seem ok bit dirty perhaps but £30 for 500

Surely MM and Std are different velocity ammos , and would be used for different purposes , MM for semi autos good for Mini Rifle runs clean and fast .
I wouldnt waste my money on Thunderbolts unreliable with FTF being very numerous and very dirty .

MiniMag will often work better in a semi-auto.
If you have a bolt gun then you can do a lot worse than CCI Std. They should be every much as good as the MiniMag but the waxy lead bullets can often cause trouble with feeding in semis.

So, oomans, what .22 fodder would you recommend for a .22 LR Remington 597 semi-auto ? We're currently using CCI Mini-mags but occasionally get a dud or two.
